South Korea's YNCC to shut No. 3 naphtha cracker in 2018
According to market sources, Yeochun Naphtha Cracking Center (YNCC) is planning to shut its No. 3 naphtha cracker for a scheduled turnaround in October-November 2018.
Based in Yeosu, South Korea, the No. 3 cracker is able to produce 470,000 tons/year of ethylene and 230,000 tons/year of propylene. It is likely to remain off-stream for around a month.
